response times are on reasonable efforts basis only and may not guarantee the permanent
resolution of a problem within the times specified. The Parties acknowledge the potentially
idiosyncratic nature of any discrepancy or issue, and agree that any sporadic failure to meet
response times shall not constitute a breach of Licensor Support Services obligations under this
MSA unless the Licensor fails to respond within the response times on three consecutive
occasions, without reasonable written justification for each of such failures.

products. The format is as follows:

V.U.F where:

V = Version (“Version” release)


U = Update (“Update” release)
F = Fix (“Patch” release)

“Support Services” means those support services specified in Article 4 to this MSA.

“Update” or “Update Release” means any collection of enhancements, bug fixes,


orcorrections to the then Current Version of the Software, which Licensor makes
available to Licensee of the Software while covered by an Active MSA. “Active” shall
